Change the Way You Think
Ask yourself the following questions: Is your life exactly as you want it to be? Do you wake up every morning with a smile and get out of bed feeling great? Do you always feel happy and positive? If your answer to any of these questions is no then you need to change the way you think, starting today.
You have probably heard the saying 'we are what we eat'.
Well it is equally true that 'we are what we think'.
Too many great people throughout history have all written very similar words to support this belief for it not to be true.
Like anything in our lives however, this is not as simple as it sounds.
Taking control of your thoughts 24/7 is very hard to do and requires total commitment and focus.
You need to be aware of your thoughts and as soon as a negative thought comes into your mind, you need to immediately dismiss it and turn it back to a positive one.
You need to remember another great saying 'practice makes perfect'.
This is very true if you are to genuinely make a change to the way you control your thinking every day.
About now you may be starting to think negative thoughts about this article.
You may be starting to think 'yeah yeah yeah, more of this new age crap'.
Well I want to tell you that I am speaking from my own experiences.
I am a man in my fifties who for most of my life has worked in a high pressure job with many negative thoughts almost every day.
It is only in the last couple of years that I have been able to really take control of my own thoughts at all times.
So now to answer your biggest question of all, the one that all of us ask about anything in our lives, and that is 'what's in it for me?' Well again let me just tell you how thinking differently and positively has changed my life over the past couple of years.
I have left my high pressure job and started my own business and have never been happier.
I smile all the time now as my thoughts automatically see the positive in every situation.
I now appreciate every little thing that I used to be too busy to see.
I now know when a negative thought enters my mind and I change it immediately into a positive one.
These changes are very profound and have not only changed my life, but also everyone around me.
My lovely wife Lyn knows me better than anyone else and will tell you I have never been happier or more positive.
People that I meet and talk to almost always comment on how passionate I am about my life, my job, my appreciation of nature and being outdoors.
And I believe this is a big factor in changing your thinking to the positive.
You need to appreciate and draw happy, positive thoughts from the magnificence of nature at least once every day.
By this I mean that you need to take the time out of your busy lives to look up at the sky and see and think about the absolute beauty.
You need to just close your eyes and let the warmth from the sun soak into your body and think that it is replenishing the energy and life-force in your body.
You need to stop and look at flowers and trees and birds and everything around you and think about how wonderful they are instead of ignoring them.
All of these wonders of nature provide us with a source of very positive thoughts.
There is another saying that I would like to leave you with today, 'the longest journey begins with the first step'.
If you want to start to change your own life to be more positive and happy, then you must start today by taking control of your thoughts.
You must work hard every day to be a happier and better person for yourself.
In doing this you will automatically influence the lives of the people around you for the better.
They themselves will smile more, laugh more, feel happier and more positive when they are around you.
And if anyone asks you how or why you seem different, happier, more in control of your life, then please tell them and help them to change their thinking also.
